    Accelerating a Mass with pneumatics

    Hey all, Not sure I am posting in the right forum, but here it goes. I need to simulate a mass falling from 10 meters, but only have about a meter of height to do it in. Therefore I need a method of accelerating the mass to a certain velocity, and then release the weight halfway through its...

    Data collection with micro controllers-Suggestions?

    hhmmm ok. Maybe ill leave the main calculations to the laptop then. I would imagine there would be enough processing power to do a simple comparison? All i really care about is the data which is non-negative. Since im recording an impact, that would account for 50 data points out of the 50 000...

    how to find a best fitted curve from a group of curves (points)

    Id probably generate akima splines from the data, since akima will hold true to its outliers (which i figure you care about). To compare one spline to the next, compare the coefficients table. Give the ALGLIB library a shot. I've written quite a few data analysis programs which required curve...

    Data collection with micro controllers-Suggestions?

    Thanks for the responses guys, I am actually a mechatronics eng co-op op student and as you can tell from my name im still far off from graduating, so the help is appreciated. I'm collecting accelerometer data as part of a testing system for our product. The issue is not price, it is more of...

    Data collection with micro controllers-Suggestions?

    MacGyverS2000 thanks for the reply. I cant say I have, but i am aware that I have quite a learning curve ahead of me. I believe this micro controller has a dev kit i can purchase along with it, which includes an eval board, Kiel IDE, some PLA tools, and provides interfacing for the on board...

    Data collection with micro controllers-Suggestions?

    Hi, I'm using an accelerometer to record an impact, and currently Im using a data acquisition device to do so. The problem is that it is large and expensive. What I would like to do is collect data from an accelerometer and do calculations on it through either C or assembler. The results of...
